f/8, 2 sec, Nikon 17-55mm 2.8G DX, focal length 18mm, ISO 100, Powell Street Bart Station. Observed people entering and existing and a thought occurred to me to capture shoppers going to Westfield Centre. Thought that capturing the movement was focus

  Hi Sherran,

Well, it started by observing people exiting the train and a thought came to me on how cool it would be to capture the movement. Movement was the key factor. Sat on a bench opposite the train door and counted the # of seconds it took for the people to reach two feet from the bench. Used manual focus set it to 2 seconds and at f/8. Just my luck at the end of two seconds the girl in red stopped. Pre-focused to 2 ft away. Braced the camera between my knees and estimated where to point the camera. Have fun with camera blur there great to take.
